Point POINT (-1.68952 55.170753) Facts about Point
Notes Building in Morpeth town centre that has been greatly extended over the years. Whilst originally occupied as a single dwelling, it had been functioning as premises for a doctors' surgery for many years. Identified for redevelopment following closure, after relocation of the practice to new premises. May be scope for an element of conversion and extension and/or demolition prior to new-build construction. A higher density flatted scheme is appropriate for the location on the edge of the town centre. An initial scheme for conversion to single dwelling was approved in 2013 (13/02887/FUL). However, this work was not undertaken. A revised proposal for clearance and replacement with 6 flats was then refused in 2015 (15/02484/FUL). A further application for construction of 5 apartments following demolition, was then approved in 2016 (16/00275/FUL). Works commenced in 2018, with 3 completions recorded in 2019, leaving the final 2 flats outstanding. However, the developer recently confirmed these outstanding units were actually completed in March 2018. NB - for monitoring purposes, the final completions were recorded in 2021/22 to avoid retrospective change to figures. Facts about Notes
